degrees. A bit of cloud and the risk of a few showers. That's all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the BBC's news teams where you are. Tonight on BBC London news: The | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
government virus to speed the deportation of terror suspects. Also | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
tonight, the woman dying of cervical cancer sues the hospital for failing | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
to spot she is at risk. It is hard to think about a simple mistake | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
leading to such a devastating effect on my life. Plus, the major study of | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
London school pupils to find out if mobile phones damage a child's | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
mental development. And, this: We didn't know what we were in for, the | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
sheer scale of it. We are with the war veterans commemorating the 70th | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
anniversary of D`day. Good evening. He was one of London's | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
most controversial figures for almost 20 years, spreading racial | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
hatred and a brand of Islamic extremism from Finsbury Park Mosque | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
in north London. Now Abu Hamza is facing a possible life sentence | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
after being found guilty by a court in New York of supporting terrorism. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Today questions have been raised as to why the UK government wasn't able | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
to prosecute the radical cleric for his part in a kidnapping which saw | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
three Britons killed. This report from our home affairs correspondent, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
Guy Smith. This was supposed to be a place for | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
quiet contemplation, but during the 1990s, the dominant figure of Abu | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Hamza turns the Finsbury Park mosque into a centre of political | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
extremism, preaching hate and intolerance. Although eventually | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
kicked out, his sermons on the street attracted more notoriety. He | :02:03. | :02:14. | |
was not a qualified imam. He was a former bouncer at a strip club, who | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
found religion and identified himself as a form of Sheikh. Abu | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Hamza was convicted of 11 offences in the US, among them helping to | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
organise hostagetaking in the Yemen, in which four tourists were | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
killed. Asked why the British justice system didn't prosecute in | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
rather than the US, this was the answer from Government: The key | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
thing is that Abu Hamza has faced justice and is likely to be behind | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
bars for many years. The Crown Prosecution Service, which is | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
independent of Government, takes decision in terms of the evidence | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
before it, and he was convicted of offences in this country and | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
sentenced to seven years in prison. Mohammed Karrar is bar is chairman | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
of trustees at the mosque. How damaging is Abu Hamza to the image | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
of Islam in Britain? It has been a tough year for the Muslim community | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
to deal with. It wasn't fair on the Muslim community to be in that | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
position during that period. Clashes between communities, far right | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
extremists coming here to protest in front of the mosque. Dees mix of | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
security services failed to take Abu Hamza seriously? `` do you think the | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
security services? Things could have been done better in the way of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
bringing communities together, taking away the hatred from | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
communities. This is Abu Hamza in 2002 talking to BBC London. What is | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
going to stop you preaching? Build me a grave. You are not going to | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
stop? No. But he has been stopped, and faces a long time in a US jail. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Today, the mosque is a very different place. Much has changed. | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Its managers say it is now what it is supposed to be, a centre for | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
tolerance and understanding within the community. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
Joining me now is the BBC's security correspondent, Frank Gardner. The | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
Prime Minister said today he wanted to see speedier deportations of | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
people like Abu Hamza who pose a security risk. Is this realistic, | :04:35. | :04:43. | |
and how many are there out there? I think this is going to be a battle | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
for the Home Office to fight with European legislation. I have already | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
fought it over Abu Qatada and others. But the issue here is why he | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
wasn't prosecuted for his role in the Yemen kidnapping, because that | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
is the main case in America that has been brought against him, and that | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
is why they have thrown the book acting, because they have implicated | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
him in the kidnapping of 16 Western tourists. I put it to the Crown | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Prosecution Service, why didn't you prosecute him? They said, we tried | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
twice, working with senior officers from the police, and we couldn't get | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
enough evidence for the case. They think there was some evidence used | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
in the US court that would not have been admissible in a British court, | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
and they won't say what that is. There was a satellite phone provided | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
by Abu Hamza to the kidnappers, and it turned out he was talking to the | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
kidnappers just ahead of the shoot out where four tourists died. We | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
heard in the report that given the presence that he had in London, at | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Finsbury Park mosque, what is your assessment of how damaging he has | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
been to the reputation of Islam in the UK? He was incredibly damaging, | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
but I think that we the media bear some of the risk stability, because | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
we kept interviewing him and he did not represent an does not represent | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
mainstream Islam. He is no more representative of some Muslims as a | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
bigot who burns the Koran in the United States is representative of | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
Christianity. He is an expanse, he has one eye and a hook for a hand. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
He is almost a comic book villain, which is embarrassing for a lot of | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
people. He also didn't have much Islamic redemptions. Abu Qatada did, | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
and remains deeply respected by Islamic scholars, despite his views. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Abu Hamza was self styled. Frank Gardner, thank you. Lots more | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
to come, including: After the Camden Market fire, stallholders are left | :06:55. | :06:55. | |
counting the cost of the damage. A 29`year`old woman who's dying from | :06:56. | :07:08. | |
cancer after a London hospital missed abnormalities in a routine | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
smear test is suing them. Fay Harryman has described the mistakes | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
in her care as appalling, and said she would have had a future to look | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
forward to had staff done their job properly. Lewsiham University | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Hospital accepted liability and apologised. Simon Jones reports. | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
She knows that treatment for cancer will only prolong her life, not cure | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
her, after a hospital error. The failure to spot the signs is | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
devastating. I change between being angry and emotional, and it is just | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
hard to kind of think about a simple mistake, really, that has led to | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
such a devastating effect on my life. So it is quite angry, really. | :07:54. | :08:06. | |
Fay Harryman had a smear test in April 2009 which was said to show no | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
abnormalities, but she went on to suffer bleeding, and in 2010 a | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
tumour was discovered. She received appalling treatment from the NHS. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
She put her trust and the doctors there, no reason to think that the | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
smear would be anything other than properly reported. As it turned out, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
it wasn't until a further 18 months that she found out that an awful | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
mistake he made, and she has to live with the consequences of that. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Lewisham and granite NHS Trust says it was extremely sorry for the | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
failure to detect abnormal cells, even though its processes met | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
national guidelines. Experts say it is vital that women can trust smear | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
tests. About 2900 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
year. Many cases are prevented, around 5000 cases a year. Stuff | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
needs to be done within the NHS. The organisation is amazing, it is | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
prolonging my life, and yet it has also taken it away with the other | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
hand. The trust had not admitted its failings contributed to the cancer | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
returning. Fay Harryman is now seeking a legal settlement. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
UKIP supporters have clashed with protesters at a street rally in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Croydon. It happened after a group of Romanians confronted UKIP party | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
members about Nigel Farage's remarks last week about Romanian neighbours. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Alex Bushill is in Croydon High Street with more details. Hopefully | :09:45. | :09:56. | |
a! Lets see if we can get Alex at the moment. I'm afraid we can't get | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Alex at the moment, but let me give you a quick note here that there is | :10:02. | :10:17. | |
a full list of candidates standing in the election. They include the | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
Animal Welfare Party, which wants to change the way EU subsidies are used | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and promote healthy, vegetarian lifestyles across Europe. Our key | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
policy is to redirect EU subsidies, currently totalling around 50 | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
billion euros per year away from livestock and fisheries farming and | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
into plant `based agriculture. We say that is better for human health, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
better for the health of the environment and better for animal | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
welfare. The English Democrats are campaigning for any dish | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
parliament, because Scotland, Ireland and Wales have their own | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
assemblies, their own first Minister, and they come to our | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Parliament and sit and decide on English matters, but we'd don't. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
That is one of the reasons why we are campaigning for an English | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Parliament. We can now go back to Alex Bushill in Croydon, where UKIP | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
supporters have clashed with protesters. This was billed as a | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
carnival. It descended into acrimony. It is organised by Winston | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
McKenzie, a well`known local black politician and former boxer, saying | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
it was an attempt to prove UKIP was not a racist party. Around a dozen | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
protesters turned up shouting abuse and waving banners. They said UKIP | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
is the mother not see party and are cyst. They said they were | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Romanians, a reference to Nigel Farage's comments that he would be | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
uncomfortable if Romanians moved in next door to him. Soon a steel band | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
packed up and left, saying they didn't know that they were | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
performing for UKIP and they were embarrassed to do so. No arrests | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
were made, it was non`violent but it was heated. As for Nigel Farage, who | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
we expected to be turning up here, you never showed up, probably just | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
as well for him and his party, given what unfolded here in Croydon. | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
Alex, thank you. I will mention it again, there is a full list of | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
candidates standing for election in Croydon at the council's website. | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
Stallholders are concerned about the impact a fire in a market in Camden | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
has had on their businesses. Hundreds of people had to be | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
evacuated from the area following the blaze yesterday evening. Traders | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
are uncertain when they'll be able to return to the part of Stables | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Market that's been damaged by the fire. Gareth Furby spent the day | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
with them. Camden market yesterday evening. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Above the blaze is wrong runway line, and a goods train passes over | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
unharmed. But the stalls in the stables have been damaged. And for | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
the hundreds evacuated and watching at the time, it seemed as though the | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
whole market could go. I went to see if I could do something, went with a | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
fire extinguisher. Someone told me there is a shop on fire. But I | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
couldn't do nothing. It was such bad smoke. Mahmoud feared that his stall | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
had been damaged or destroyed. He filmed the early stages of the fire | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
from close by his mobile phone. I was panicking, I didn't know what | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
the state of my shop would be like. But security have told me my shop is | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
safe this afternoon as most of the market reopened, the damage could be | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
seen. Confined to perhaps ten stalls thanks to the fire brigade's | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
actions. The Fire Brigade did well to bring it under control so | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
quickly, because as you can see it is quite a tight unit. The crews did | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
work terribly hard. But last night, Terry King's book and big to stall | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
wasn't damaged, even though it is close to the scene. And he thinks | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
the risk is just part of the market's charm. And a thing that | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
comes into the market is combustible. You can't help that. It | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
is the nature of the market. Is there anything that can be done? No. | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
It is just a risk that has to be taken? Stallholders will only know | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
how much they have lost when the seniors opened, and some say they | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
are not insured. Still to come tonight: A rare and | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
extraordinary scientific find ` the perfectly preserved baby mammoth | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
going on display at the Natural History Museum. | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
Next, a question every parent would like answered: do mobile phones and | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
other wireless devices affect a child's mental development? That's | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
what a major study by researchers at Imperial College aims to find out. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
It will track 11` and 12`year`olds at 160 secondary schools in the | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
capital from September. Nick Beake has the story. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
As technology powers forward, children have a world of opportunity | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
at their fingertips. But still very little is known about the health | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
risks of mobiles and other wireless devices. I was 12 when I got my | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
first mobile phone. I was 12. I was 11. I was eight. I was ten. I was | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
six. At this school in north London, mobiles are normally banned but | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
pupils here will be among those tracked for three years, from year | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
seven to year nine. It the government and industry funded | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
project to work out the effect phones have on their thinking | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
skills, memory and attention. There is very much a dearth of information | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
on children's use of mobile phones, whether or not there might be any | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
harmful effects. And therefore it's absolutely essential that the study | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
is conducted and we are able to address the gaps in our knowledge. | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
So do these people think mobiles are helping or hindering? If you need | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
help with your homework you can go on the internet. Sometimes it is a | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
bad thing because people get addicted to it, they block out the | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
real world and what you are meant to do. There's more social media now, | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
BBM, WhatsApp and Twitter, I can get it all on my phone. I use it more, | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
my relationship with my phone, it's there with the all the time. I use | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
it every day, it's my life in a little device really. I'd use my | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
phone less if it was proven to be dangerous. The pupils from this | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
school have already been signed up to this study, but now scientists | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
are voting to 160 schools across London. They hope to recruit 2500 | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
children in all. We know the growth in the use of mobile phones is | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
huge. So it is important that we understand what effect it could be | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
having on their brain and brain development. So far, research has | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
found no risk of brain cancer in adults, but some believe children's | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
brains are more susceptible because they are still developing. We will | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
have to wait until at least 2017 to find out all the effect this study | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
uncovers. Veterans who served on HMS Belfast | :17:40. | :17:55. | |
during the second world war have been commemorating the 70th | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
anniversary of the D Day landings. Prime Minister David Cameron | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
attended the memorial and paid tribute by telling them that the | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
country will "always be proud" of them. We can join Katharine | :18:05. | :18:15. | |
Carpenter, who's on River Thames. On a lovely, calm evening like this on | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
the Thames, it's hard to imagine that this ship was ever in the cut | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
and thrust of war. But HMS Belfast really was in the thick of it on | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
D`day. At 5:27am, she fired some of the very first shots on German | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
positions. Then she continued to offer fire cover, so that thousands | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
of servicemen could make it onto the beaches. She remained in position | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
for 33 days. Today, some 40 veterans who were there on D`day came on | :18:44. | :18:57. | |
board. Older, of course, but still comrades, bound together by their | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
shared experiences. The noise factor is so loud. From this ship, the | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Belfast, it will be firing its guns, you'd have a larger ship, a big | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
battleship. All of them bombarding the beach. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
I can remember the landing craft were in line abreast, coming past a | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
line of battleships and then cruisers, when we passed this boat | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
that was giving us covering fire on the beach. Manning one of the guns | :19:22. | :19:33. | |
on board was John Sears, from Newham. You had to watch your | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
fingers in the breach, otherwise it took your fingers. During her five | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
weeks supporting the Normandy landings, HMS Belfast fired over | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
5000 shells. It was a question of us or them. I'd been waiting for this | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
for what they'd done to my dear city, the old London. I was ready, I | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
was up for it. It was that spirit which drew the admiration of the | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Prime Minister today. You are the heroes that I read about in history | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
books at school. As a boy, I learned the names of those beaches. I was | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
taught about this glorious chapter in our history. And now I'm a | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
father, I want to make sure that my children learn the same things. That | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
a aim is shared by those behind today's event, keen to remind the | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
capital that one of its most famous landmarks helped fight for its | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
freedoms, too, and came through almost unscathed. The only damage to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
the ship was the toilets were cracked by the vibration of the | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
artillery fire from the naval guns. Fortunately, it suffered a few near | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
misses from German batteries on the coastline with shells firing into | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
the water about 50 yards away, but luckily it wasn't hit by direct | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
fire. Like the ship, many of these veterans went on to give users more | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
service to their country, memories of the Second World War still vivid. | :20:52. | :21:04. | |
Today's event was one of a number which are going to take place over | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
the next few weeks. The anniversary of D`day itself is the 6th of June. | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
There will also be even in Portsmouth and Normandy. But the | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
number of Normandy veterans is ever diminishing and particularly the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
number who are prepared to travel. Many of them said they weren't going | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
to be able to make it out to France, and that's why they were | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
particularly pleased there was an event here today in the capital. | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
A perfectly preserved baby mammoth which died 42,000 years ago has been | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
unveiled at the Natural History Museum. Found by Siberian deer | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
herders, it's believed to be one of the most significant scientific | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
discoveries ever. Experts say it's absolutely extraordinary and is the | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
first time she's been shown in Western Europe. Warren Nettleford | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
has more. You'd be forgiven for thinking these are the remains of a | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
small elephant, but take a closer look. On top of the perfectly | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
preserved skin you will see a bit of fur, and that's because this is a | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
baby Mammoth. But this baby is quite old, 42,000 years old. It's the age | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
and condition of this discovery that has excited scientists. This can't | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
happen after all this time, it's really thrilling because I've been | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
working on mammoths for most of my scientific career. To encounter a | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
completely preserved individual, it's amazing. There's something | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
about it that really hits you because it puts you in direct | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
contact with that ice age world. The mammoth was discovered by this | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
Russian deer herd and his son, six years ago. They work in a peninsular | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
of Siberia. Undisturbed and covered in mud and I is for thousands of | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
years, the mammoth was almost perfectly preserved. The hunter's | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
prize for his discovery was naming the mammoth after his wife. You can | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
see her tiny little tasks just sticking through, because she was a | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
female mammoth and a baby, the tasks are very small. This is the milk | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
task. She was only a month old when she died. Remnants of her mother's | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
milk are still in her stomach, and scientists are hoping this new | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
discovery will help them to get a better understanding of mammoth's | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
biology and behaviour. You will be able to see it for yourself at the | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Natural History Museum from this Friday. That is extraordinary. What | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
about the weather? A bit of rain across London this | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
afternoon. We've got a slow breaking down of the warm and sunny weather | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
we had to start this working week. It was cooler today out. As they go | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
through the evening, there is a little hint of brightness in the sky | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
but they have been some threatening, grey clouds as well. We | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
could see one or two showers break`out tonight. At first there | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
could be clearer skies, mist or fog patches developing across the Home | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
Counties. It's towards the early hours that a bit of cloud will creep | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
into the east. That may introduce one or two microlight bits and | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
pieces rain through the early hours and the rush hour. Cool as well | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
tonight, temperatures generally in double figures. We start the day | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
tomorrow with cloud and the threat of bits and pieces of rain first | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
thing. If you are waking up tomorrow and parts of Buckinghamshire and | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Berkshire, you might see some sunshine. The thickest of the cloud | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
will be towards the Thames Estuary. Prepare for rain almost anywhere | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
tomorrow, although it's only in the afternoon that there will perhaps be | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
some heavy bursts. Temperatures are cooler. As we go through the evening | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
tomorrow and through tomorrow night, that is when the weather | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
front shows up. That looks as if it's going to give us quite a dose | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
of rain. Some quite torrential rain across the Thames Estuary, up across | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Essex as well. It will be followed on by further bits and pieces from | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
the south. Nowhere is immune on Wednesday night into Thursday to | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
getting some really quite heavy rain. It sets us off on a rather | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
showery tone as we head into the Bank Holiday weekend. For Thursday, | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
there will be some sunny breaks and showers. Some of those will be quite | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
heavy. There will be a breeze behind them. Quite a fine day if a little | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
cloudy on Friday, but we have to prepare for some showers for the | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
Bank Holiday weekend. The main news headlines. The search | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
for four British sailors missing in the Mid`Atlantic since last Friday | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
has resumed. The decision by the US Coastguard came after nearly 200,000 | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
people signed an online petition calling for a new search. The trial | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
of Rolf Harris has heard from a fourth woman who claimed that the | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
entertainer indecently assaulted her when she was 15 and on tour with her | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
youth drama group. He denies all the charges. House prices are continuing | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
to outstrip pay rises according to the latest official figures, | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
particularly in the Capital. House prices went up by 8% in the last | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
year nationally, but in London they grew by 17%. That's it, thanks for | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
joining us. I'll be back later during the ten o'clock news. Until | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
then, from me and the team here, have a lovely evening. | :26:27. | :26:51. | |
Some people don't think real change in Europe is possible. | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Some people don't think real change is necessary. | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
Some people don't think it's worth fighting for. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
But we want to make Europe work for Britain, | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
and give you the final say with an in-out referendum in 2017. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
have made Britain's economy stronger and more competitive. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
a record number of people in work. And we're predicted to be | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
the fastest-growing economy in the G7 this year. | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
We're working through our long-term economic plan at home | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
and we'll work through our plan to deliver real change in Europe too. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
David Cameron, backed by a strong team of Conservative MEPs, | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
has taken action to stand up for Britain. | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
Vetoing a new EU fiscal treaty that didn't guarantee | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
a level playing field for British businesses. | :27:44. | :27:47. |
